Short filmTranscript
00:00:04A hundred years passed. The realm was undone by its own celebration. At the
00:00:12wedding feast of Princess Rosalie and Lord Varden Hawthorne, the fields of
00:00:17Shrewsbury gave forth their first poisoned harvest and the royal table was
00:00:23its victim. All who supped that night perished save one, Prince Varden, who was
00:00:31too anxious to eat. By dawn he was king. The blight spread swiftly through all the
00:00:39shires except Vindishur whose walls held firm and whose grain endured. Thus the
00:00:47new king made Vindishur the seat of power but gave back to the blighted counties
00:00:53a competition soaked in blood. We honor that competition with the legacy of the
00:01:03most eligible heiress. What an exhilarating day for us all. Truly this is what the
00:01:14most eligible heiress is meant to celebrate. The pursuit of love. But most
00:01:21importantly, to root out the traitors and threats to the realm. Concurrent to the
00:01:28wedding, we will commence on the next iteration of the most eligible heiress.
00:01:35What? What? Excitingly, we have a nominee with us here tonight!
00:01:44Shall we unveil our nominee?
00:01:57Hilara, you shouldn't! Why haven't you confirmed that I am the nominee?
00:01:59While I understand why... No! You don't. Perhaps. But there's more to account for than your wants. We are in
00:02:09a dire position.
00:02:10It's imperative. Whomever represents this county must be able to make it deep into the competition.
00:02:16I am by far the best trained that you can... That is not the issue!
00:02:21If they find out your true family name, they'll kill you. But I...
00:02:27They'll break the competition. You will die. And the county will be left with nothing!
00:02:31No. They cannot possibly do that again. I understand. What happened to Everett was evil.
00:02:40But there is a whole county of people for whom I am the guardian.
00:02:45You are a bureaucrat.
00:02:48If we place last, everyone will starve. Your mother and sister included. Think of Elowen.
00:02:57That's why I'm the only option.
00:03:05I have little to offer.
00:03:08What is this?
00:03:09I gave the same token to Everett before he left. I'm certain those last letters were meaningful.
00:03:22Mother, are you awake?
00:03:26My darling girl.
00:03:30I left enough food for you and Elowen.
00:03:33Beautiful little princess.
00:03:38I wish I could have given you the life we deserve.
00:03:43Everett was supposed to reclaim what was ours.
00:03:46I know. I know, Mother.
00:03:49I'm going to do that now.
00:03:51Never forget.
00:03:52I won't.
00:03:54I won't.
00:03:55I won't, Mother.
00:03:58Are you actually leaving us?
00:04:07Elowen, I have to do this.
00:04:10What if you...
00:04:10I won't.
00:04:12He taught me everything I know.
00:04:15I promise to win.
00:04:19Everett promised me the same thing.
00:04:22I know.
00:04:23You promised me to.
00:04:26Here.
00:04:29Do your makeup like I taught you.
00:04:31He'll be sure to tease you.
00:04:39Ellie, what is this?
00:04:40It's a hairpin.
00:04:42I found it in Mom's drawer.
00:04:44She'd give it to you if she knew.
00:04:46I doubt it.
00:04:47I don't.
00:04:56Hey, Laura.
00:04:58Your Majesty, I must offer my condolences for Princess May for tragedy.
00:05:02There is always trouble in our time.
00:05:05How goes the manor preparations?
00:05:08I do believe this year is set to be the greatest in recent memory.
00:05:13Good.
00:05:14And the Prince's reaction?
00:05:16Good.
00:05:17He is choosing a mask as we speak.
00:05:24And the other contestants?
00:05:26The young lady from Emberhelm, Juliet Ashford, chose the most promise this year.
00:05:30By reports, she's deeply adept with the sword and has a confident disposition.
00:05:36Pick up those bags.
00:05:40Ever the obedient one, aren't you?
00:05:43Fair medals maiden is Clementine Parker.
00:05:47The Duke's gambling debts have put his family in a precarious situation.
00:05:51Her entry is truly an act of courage.
00:05:55Compellingly, we have another member of the Matsumoto clan.
00:05:58Oh, so winning this competition is in their bloodlines.
00:06:02The Matsumotos have sent their daughter, Aiko, to compete.
00:06:05She is known for her agility and balance.
00:06:09Who else?
00:06:10Jane and Miobi.
00:06:11The whispers from the realm tell me she's quite strong, but perhaps a bit dim-witted.
00:06:18It's always a good test for the others to have a sturdy simpleton.
00:06:21The final contender is Amina Masood from Silverkeep.
00:06:26She became the nominee after an accident befell the previous nominee.
00:06:31And the girl from Shrewsbury.
00:06:34Ilara Halloway.
00:06:36You needn't concern yourself.
00:06:38Let there be no more Shrewsbury mistakes.
00:06:40The fate of the weaver boy and poor Maeve should suffice as lesson.
00:06:59Welcome to your first task of the most eligible heiress of Shrewsbury.
00:07:04Navigate yourself to the manor.
00:07:06The future queen must be smart, savvy, and know the woods.
00:07:09There are traps and deadly contestants in your way.
00:07:12The first to arrive will receive a boon, the last to handicap.
00:07:23Is it too much to ask that you'll carry my bag for me?
00:07:48I don't need that patch to tell me you're Shrewsbury filth.
00:07:50Is it my perfect posture?
00:07:57Too slow.
00:08:07If you're ever in the woods had a loss,
00:08:08always remember to find the moss.
00:08:33Lovely hairpin.
00:08:35There's a pit trap.
00:08:36Out that way.
00:08:48The gold is very becoming, your highness.
00:08:52Great choice.
00:08:56It is customary for you to welcome the ladies who survived the first task to the manor.
00:09:06But your highness, it is the tradition of-
00:09:09Are you instructing the future heir on how to behave?
00:09:13No, your highness.
00:09:14I would never overstep my bounds.
00:09:17That is all for now.
00:09:26Bet they didn't teach you how to use a bow and arrow in Shrewsbury.
00:09:30No.
00:09:31But they did teach us how to have better aim than you.
00:09:35You call that good aim?
00:09:37Yes.
00:09:42We have orders from the governess.
00:09:45We must find the Shrewsbury girl.
00:09:51Here.
00:09:52This way.
00:09:53I'm delighted to finally meet your acquaintance.
00:09:56Much has been spoken about you.
00:09:58I don't have time for this.
00:10:00I'm Andrew, the prince's first footman.
00:10:03And I'm the most eligible heiress.
00:10:04Now.
00:10:06If you'll excuse me.
00:10:10Quick.
00:10:12She should be close.
00:10:15You're welcome.
00:10:16Again.
00:10:21Over there.
00:10:22You're first.
00:10:24Which will certainly impress the prince.
00:10:31I am in your debt.
00:10:50Hey, Laura Holloway of Shrewsbury.
00:10:53Allow me to offer my congratulations on your most
00:10:58unexpected success.
00:11:00Perhaps something to become accustomed to.
00:11:02How delightful to see you so spirited at the outset.
00:11:05I do hope you can sustain it.
00:11:09At your pleasure.
00:11:12A fine attempt, Miss Matsumoto.
00:11:15I had every expectation of brilliance,
00:11:17but your brother does cast a long shadow.
00:11:27But I say, every time I get inome with him,
00:11:33We'll try.
00:11:35Miss Masud.
00:11:38What a mercy.
00:11:39You have escaped the woods appetite.
00:11:41I-
00:11:42Hey.
00:11:42compliments to you all on your safe arrival. Ordinarily, we have at least one
00:11:48soul who fails to find their way out of the woods. We are blessed with uncommon
00:11:55talent. Shrewsbury has claimed first arrival. By right of the rules, the finest
00:12:02room in the manor shall be hers. Fortune does favor the swift.
00:12:07Where's Prince Theo?
00:12:08All in due time, dear Juliet. Regrettably, as last to arrive, you must accept the
00:12:21handicap that accompanies such tardiness.
00:12:32Let this be your last failing. Bind the wound tightly.
00:12:44Only one of you will be the most eligible heiress. The victory is within your control.
00:12:53Tomorrow will be a spirited contest of arms. Advance and you shall face a battle of wits.
00:13:01And if you're lucky enough to get to the third task, well, that is often the king's favorite.
00:13:10One last thing. There will be no fraternizing with the servants. They are here to work. If you are found
00:13:19violating this, you will be removed from the competition. I will escort all of you to your
00:13:27rooms. Except you. Stay here. I will return in due course.
00:13:50I'd be happy to escort you to your room. You know, I'd be happy to escort you to your room.
00:13:56I should probably wait for the grim governess to return. Yeah, I don't think she's coming back.
00:14:03She seems mad that you won. Perhaps you shouldn't have underestimated me then.
00:14:10Don't worry. I'm not.
00:14:21Does this count as fraternizing with the help?
00:14:23I'm merely helping you get to your room. But let's not get caught.
00:14:36Thank you for the official escort. Now go before we get caught.
00:14:50Why did you choose to do this? My older brother died a couple of years ago. And if I want
00:14:58my
00:14:58little sister to have a better life, then I need to win for her. I recently lost my sister.
00:15:08Losing a sibling is really hard. You've become a target. You need to be more careful. I don't want
00:15:20to see you go down so fast. They don't scare me. But it's kind that you're so worried about me.
00:15:43I hope you live long enough for me to see you in this, Prince Theo.
00:15:55This sewer could feed us for years.
00:16:31I've got to be...
00:16:38One of thieves must...
00:16:43Yes!
00:16:50Your Highness, the ladies were most impressive today.
00:16:55Though they did inquire about your whereabouts.
00:16:59And...
00:17:00Tradition dictates...
00:17:01I'm the heir to the throne.
00:17:03I will act in the way of my choosing.
00:17:05As is your God-given right.
00:17:08Is that the whole of it?
00:17:10I'm growing tired of this conversation.
00:17:12If I may.
00:17:14The circumstances of tomorrow's games are such that it would be most respectful to have you in attendance.
00:17:22Then so be it.
00:17:27You don't need to be here.
00:17:29Letters stay.
00:17:31Fine.
00:17:32When you get to the manor, you must try to get into the library alone.
00:17:36You must try to find a book about the Eaton family or written by a family member.
00:17:42Must we revisit this?
00:17:44They've not destroyed history.
00:17:46They've just distorted it.
00:17:48There's proof in there.
00:17:51I will find it, Mother.
00:18:08Who goes there?
00:18:12Please don't threaten me, sir.
00:18:13I was merely grabbing this on the governess's orders.
00:18:16She'll have in my head if I don't return soon.
00:18:19You must be the new servant, girl.
00:18:22You should be more careful next time.
00:18:25The governess does not appreciate tardiness.
00:18:28Off you go.
00:18:47Sneaking around the castle, are we?
00:18:53Shouldn't you be standing guard at the prince's quarters?
00:18:55It's difficult to get him to sleep without a bedtime towel, perhaps.
00:18:59I should probably read it first.
00:19:01To ensure it's suitable.
00:19:02For the prince's precious eyes.
00:19:05That is very, very kind of you.
00:19:14You better sneak off before we're caught fraternizing.
00:19:21Trust you all are rested.
00:19:24Today, we highlight your ability with a sword.
00:19:28You will be paired up in a series of duels.
00:19:30Win, and you earn your safety.
00:19:33Lose, and you shall fight again.
00:19:35I claim Shrewsbury.
00:19:38Why did you help me yesterday?
00:19:41I, I don't know.
00:19:43I advise you to mind your wits.
00:19:45We just picked you to be the first of all.
00:19:49Thankfully, Prince Theo has honored us with his presence today.
00:19:59The most handsome man I've seen.
00:20:02He is as I expected.
00:20:04How do they even know he's attractive?
00:20:06He's wearing that ridiculous mask.
00:20:08He's the prince.
00:20:09He's good enough, I guess.
00:20:12The pairings will be Clementine and Amina.
00:20:16Jane and Aiko.
00:20:18And finally, Juliet and Alara.
00:20:23Begin.
00:20:42It's a shame this isn't a real sword.
00:20:45You'd have already bled out.
00:20:47Or I'd have cut you to pieces before you could even land a hit.
00:20:52The next pairings are Alara versus Aiko and Amina.
00:20:58I'd be happy to fight again, governess.
00:21:02Shrewsbury was barely a challenge.
00:21:04Thank you, Juliet.
00:21:06You are so gracious to put your body on the line.
00:21:09You need to relax.
00:21:11I've never fought this way before.
00:21:13Like a nimble.
00:21:14You only need one hit for victory.
00:21:25The final fight will be between Amina and Alara.
00:21:31In this round, the rules have changed.
00:21:34Only one of you will remain in competition.
00:21:37I know.
00:21:38It sucks.
00:21:40Stay light on your feet.
00:21:41Parry any blows.
00:21:42Why are you helping me?
00:21:44I always repay my debts.
00:21:46Let's begin.
00:21:59Finish this already.
00:22:00Quick and nimble.
00:22:01Quick and nimble.
00:22:03Quick and nimble.
00:22:08Make it quick.
00:22:13Make it quick.
00:22:27Amina would have been a beautiful queen.
00:22:30Henceforth, the resources to the Silver Keep shall be greatly reduced.
00:22:36How thrilling.
00:22:38Five of you move on to the next trial.
00:23:00Is this what you're after?
00:23:04Perhaps.
00:23:07Are you following me?
00:23:09Why do you care so much about the Eatons?
00:23:12Must a young lady's interest in history be deemed so unseemly?
00:23:17If I may.
00:23:19We can work together, you know.
00:23:22You tell me why you care so much about the Eatons,
00:23:24and I'll not only give you this book,
00:23:26but I'll show you where the family tree is located.
00:23:29If this is a trick, I will kill you.
00:23:34I swear on my prince.
00:23:41The Eatons were the original royal family.
00:23:45There was always whisperings in Shrewsbury
00:23:48that the Great Famine was used to bury the truth.
00:23:51The truth?
00:23:53That the Eatons were usurped.
00:23:56Hmm.
00:23:58Some people would consider that perspective treason.
00:24:02Well, but in that case,
00:24:04I am lucky to consider myself a skeptic.
00:24:28Who are you, really?
00:24:31What makes you so interested?
00:24:33The governess wants you dead.
00:24:34She doesn't do anything without a reason.
00:24:37Does the governess not work for your fair prince?
00:24:40Things are rarely as they seem
00:24:42when the ruling class is involved.
00:24:44Oh.
00:24:52Now show me to this family tree section.
00:24:54Go.
00:25:07This tea just isn't the same as home.
00:25:10I miss that.
00:25:11I don't think it's that bad.
00:25:13You have tea? In Shrewsbury?
00:25:15Doubtful.
00:25:17They don't have proper floors in their houses.
00:25:26Is she okay?
00:25:33Clementine.
00:25:36You don't look so good.
00:25:38Neither do you.
00:25:50To triumph in this contest,
00:25:54one must summon fortitude of the mind
00:25:57at a moment's call.
00:26:00Alas, you are all poisoned.
00:26:03Hm.
00:26:04Four antidotes, four hopes.
00:26:07In turn, we shall pose riddles.
00:26:11A right answer grants life.
00:26:15Juliet.
00:26:16How do we determine the order?
00:26:17It's my discretion.
00:26:20Juliet.
00:26:20The maker doesn't want it.
00:26:22The buyer doesn't use it.
00:26:24The user doesn't know it.
00:26:26What is it?
00:26:28A coffin.
00:26:38Clementine.
00:26:39It is the beginning of eternity.
00:26:42The end of time and space.
00:26:45It is the start of every end.
00:26:48The end of every place.
00:26:51The letter E.
00:27:02Jane.
00:27:04Cold makes me calm.
00:27:07Heat makes me mad.
00:27:09I break before I bend.
00:27:12What am I?
00:27:15Ice.
00:27:16Correct.
00:27:17She's from Grimfrost.
00:27:19It appears that we only have one dose left
00:27:24and two contestants.
00:27:26Who would like-
00:27:28Please!
00:27:28I am ready.
00:27:30I go.
00:27:32I can crown a fool or expose a queen.
00:27:36Yet, I have no tongue.
00:27:38Only reflection.
00:27:41It's so simple.
00:27:44Time's up.
00:27:46A diamond.
00:27:48Incorrect.
00:27:49A mirror!
00:27:50A mirror!
00:27:51A mirror!
00:27:51The answer is a mirror!
00:27:52That is correct.
00:27:53But that is not your riddle.
00:27:58The poison must be setting in.
00:28:02Elara.
00:28:03I am born when two lie,
00:28:06but die when one tells the truth.
00:28:12A secret!
00:28:14A secret!
00:28:16A secret!
00:28:16How fortunate!
00:28:35And she exits.
00:28:40Farewell.
00:28:52What was it like to grow up in the mountains of Grimfrost?
00:28:57Cold.
00:28:59Do you enjoy the heat?
00:29:01It gets quite warm in Vindershire.
00:29:12Seeing as we're the last two,
00:29:14shall we drink until it's our turn?
00:29:17It's in our right after today.
00:29:21Is that not considered fraternizing?
00:29:24That only refers to the servants.
00:29:27Oh, my.
00:29:28Where did you get a dress like this?
00:29:33Elara, I want you alive.
00:29:35I wouldn't poison your wine.
00:29:40Am I not your competition?
00:29:43No.
00:29:44Actually, you're not.
00:29:46Are we back to playing riddles again?
00:29:48I don't want to be married to the prince.
00:29:50I only want the riches.
00:29:52How much do you know about Fairmeadow?
00:29:54No.
00:30:02Not much.
00:30:03Besides it being considered the revelry capital.
00:30:06Dancing and gambling.
00:30:08Which is why I want to form an alliance.
00:30:11It's important to have a partner.
00:30:14I'm listening.
00:30:18My father is the Duke.
00:30:20And also a degenerate gambler.
00:30:23So much so, our entire family is in danger of losing our status.
00:30:27The most eligible heiress is the largest gambling event in the county.
00:30:32Everyone likes to place a bet.
00:30:34And you.
00:30:37You are my fortune incarnate.
00:30:46So, why not bet on yourself?
00:30:49Take the money and the crown.
00:30:51One, I'm not so sure I could win.
00:30:55Two, you by far have the most profitable odds.
00:30:59After the first day, I sent my family instructions to bet every last piece of gold on you winning.
00:31:06Well, I am honored.
00:31:09You certainly seem confident.
00:31:11Much like my father, I like a favorable bet.
00:31:15And in exchange for your help?
00:31:18You let me live.
00:31:20Oftentimes, there's only one heiress remaining.
00:31:22But it's not uncommon for the winner to take mercy on the competitor if they back down.
00:31:28How do I know this isn't some trick to get my guard down?
00:31:31You won't.
00:31:32But you might have to.
00:31:34Now.
00:31:37Why don't you try on this beautiful dress for me?
00:31:40I want you to look good for the prince.
00:32:01Is he really gonna be here this whole time?
00:32:08Hurry up! I have to go soon!
00:32:15He'd have to be a fool not to rank you first.
00:32:20Alright, it's time for my departure.
00:32:24Oh, and don't spend too much time carrying on with that footman of his.
00:32:28Guessing he's the jealous type.
00:32:31How did you-
00:32:32And then, I took my father's sword and slashed the boar's head right off.
00:32:51It was amazing.
00:32:54Excuse me, your highness.
00:32:56You're excused.
00:32:57Andrew.
00:33:03Now that we're alone, the real fun can begin.
00:33:15Don't you think it'd be so much better if we just took this thing right off?
00:33:22Kinky.
00:33:25I can work with that.
00:33:29That better not be your damn footman again.
00:33:33Well, looks like you're having a good time, your highness.
00:33:37I sure was, until you barged in.
00:33:39Sadly, your time is up, Juliet.
00:33:41Not yet.
00:33:51Don't forget about me.
00:33:58Good luck following that up.
00:34:03I assume it went well.
00:34:05If you would have given me ten more minutes, we would have been in the bed.
00:34:08I gave you the most time.
00:34:10Now, I need you to fulfill your end of the deal.
00:34:14Why do you care so much about that peasant girl?
00:34:16That's none of your concern.
00:34:17But, I have told the others that whoever takes Alara out first will be given a huge advantage going forward.
00:34:25I'm up for a challenge.
00:34:30You should try sneaking to the gambling duns in Fair Meadow.
00:34:33He could get into some good trouble.
00:34:36I do enjoy a bit of mischief.
00:34:42Miss Parker, your time is up.
00:34:44Please wait outside.
00:34:52That was the last one.
00:34:54You may retire to your bedroom.
00:34:56Isn't there one more?
00:34:57No.
00:34:59She's...
00:35:00not feeling well.
00:35:07Why are you here?
00:35:09I had to see the most beautiful woman here with my own two eyes.
00:35:11Keep your honey tongue.
00:35:14It sweetens nothing I desire.
00:35:18That's a shame.
00:35:20Unfortunately for you, I have a date with the Prince.
00:35:25Actually, you don't.
00:35:29He's retired to his room for the evening.
00:35:32But fortunately for you, I'm here to report back to Prince Theo about your sparkling personality.
00:35:39Plus, I could never let you waste a look as stunning as this.
00:35:44You deserve to be seen, even if it's just by me.
00:35:50Shall we?
00:35:59I asked the Prince if he knew anything about the Eatons.
00:36:01And?
00:36:02Did he ignore you completely?
00:36:05No.
00:36:06But he did sneak into the governess' study and steal this.
00:36:12What is this?
00:36:13It's the governess' official log.
00:36:16She writes everything down.
00:36:18I had a quick look through there.
00:36:20There's some good leads.
00:36:22Leads?
00:36:23Leads on what?
00:36:24I don't think Princess Maeve died of natural causes.
00:36:28You think the king killed her?
00:36:31You think King Raphael killed the heir to his own throne?
00:36:39What are you doing?
00:36:40I think it's time you and I have a little chat.
00:36:45Actually, King Raphael seems so horrible, I wouldn't even be surprised.
00:36:52You possess a remarkable capacity for surprise.
00:37:26You are making me forget my matters in place.
00:37:31That's definitely counting as Friday nights.
00:37:33Then we better not get caught.
00:37:37If you are betraying me, I will drive this knife so far into your neck.
00:37:42I swear to God.
00:37:45Then I must do what you say.
00:37:51Go on.
00:38:04What are you thinking about?
00:38:07Simply longing for a repetition of a particular moment.
00:38:10Whatever is the obstacle?
00:38:15Because I, uh, I need to show you this stack.
00:38:20Earlier today I found this and I think it would be beneficial if you read it.
00:38:25Do you think this could be proof of the famine?
00:38:27Whatever you do, do not let anyone know you have this.
00:38:31Based on what's inside, it could be really dangerous if you're caught with it.
00:38:44How's your health?
00:38:45Quite well.
00:38:47Why?
00:38:49The governess, she must have been mistaken.
00:38:54Anyway, if my footman happens to be her too, can you let him know I need him at his convenience?
00:38:59After he escorts you back, of course.
00:39:03Certainly.
00:39:10How can you stand to work for him?
00:39:12Actually, for the whole royal family.
00:39:14It's complicated.
00:39:16The royal family is incredibly sheltered compared to the rest of the realm.
00:39:19Because that's an acceptable excuse.
00:39:22Well, working for them means I am too.
00:39:25I never knew what was going on in Shrewsbury till I met you, so I doubt the prince knows either.
00:39:28Plausible deniability.
00:39:30He's the prince.
00:39:32He can go and see for himself.
00:39:34King Raphael would never allow that.
00:39:35He lives a life of luxury while his subjects suffer.
00:39:38Ignorance is a choice.
00:39:41More than a circumstance.
00:39:45Don't tell the prince that.
00:39:48I'm not one to refrain from candor.
00:39:51I need you to ride to the castle at once.
00:39:54King Raphael needs to be informed of my suspicions.
00:39:57Do not stop. This is urgent.
00:40:11Can I tempt you to stay?
00:40:13I wish.
00:40:14I wish.
00:40:15But when the prince calls, I must answer.
00:40:34I'll be dreaming of that.
00:40:50Good morning, your highness.
00:40:52The rankings are as follows.
00:40:54Juliet, Jane, Clementine, and Ellara.
00:40:59No.
00:41:00No?
00:41:01Ellara Holloway is number one.
00:41:03Do I need to remind you of your place, governess?
00:41:07No, your highness.
00:41:09It's merely that your father will be disappointed.
00:41:27Good morning to you all.
00:41:30Today, you will compete in a game that is a favorite amongst the children of the royal family.
00:41:38Hounds and the crown.
00:41:40We need to talk about what?
00:41:43You're fraternizing with the strapping footmen?
00:41:45The rules are simple.
00:41:47Three women, the hounds, will hunt one, the crown.
00:41:51This is going to be enjoyable.
00:41:53Not unless we're all hunting you.
00:41:56The crown must make it back to her room safely.
00:42:00The hounds will aim to prevent that by any means of their choosing.
00:42:06Of course the royal family would play a twisted game like this.
00:42:09How will you decide who the crown is?
00:42:11It's based on your ranking by Prince Theo himself.
00:42:15Ellara, you currently hold that coveted spot.
00:42:20You will be the crown for us today.
00:42:35Is that any way to greet your father?
00:42:49That's more like it.
00:42:51What are you doing here, father?
00:42:52I'm not allowed to visit my future heir on his most eligible heiress retreat.
00:43:01Lighten up, my son.
00:43:04We'll have a lovely lunch while they all hunt each other.
00:43:08And we can catch up on everything that I've missed here.
00:43:11Come on.
00:43:30Ladies, you three will stay with me while Ellara goes to hide.
00:43:34Ellara, you must survive in the manor for one hour before finding safety in your room.
00:43:42There will be guards blocking there.
00:43:44Do you understand?
00:43:46We also have spectators today.
00:43:50Before the match, the king has asked to see the hunted.
00:43:59Yes, governess.
00:44:03Ah, the woman of the hour.
00:44:07Join us.
00:44:09Please, seat.
00:44:12Welcome, my dear.
00:44:14I must extend congratulations to you on earning first place.
00:44:20I hear my son has handpicked you.
00:44:24I would love to learn how you've beaten all of the odds to end up at this moment here.
00:44:32You've got quite the battle ahead of you.
00:44:34The crown almost never escapes the hounds.
00:44:38Your majesty, I only hope to make both my county and this kingdom proud.
00:44:45And how do you plan on doing that?
00:44:48And how do you plan on doing that?
00:44:53Well, by becoming the most eligible heiress, naturally.
00:44:59We'll see, dear.
00:45:01But first, I must ask.
00:45:04Holloway.
00:45:06Such an interesting surname.
00:45:10I don't think I've seen that one before.
00:45:13I come from quite a common family.
00:45:16Nothing special in Shrewsbury.
00:45:19Hmm.
00:45:22How very interesting.
00:45:25Well, thank you for sharing your company with us.
00:45:28Good luck to you in the games.
00:45:37Excuse me.
00:45:38Excuse me.
00:45:44For what? I did nothing.
00:45:46For standing up to him.
00:45:47No one does that.
00:45:50If you can make it to the hall, there's a secret entrance to my quarters to the left of the
00:45:54painting.
00:45:55From there, you can get to your room easier than navigating the whole quarters.
00:46:01Good luck. I'll be waiting.
00:46:07Everything is ready, your majesty.
00:46:09I enjoy her.
00:46:14Such a shame.
00:46:16There's two staircases.
00:46:18I will take the east, and Jane, you'll take the west.
00:46:22And if she stays hidden below?
00:46:23Then she'll be trapped down there and be forced to make a run right towards us.
00:46:30You will remain in the front in case she tries anything.
00:46:35Take a shot if you spot her and call out.
00:46:40We have favor in our numbers.
00:46:43Let us not forget.
00:46:50I wonder if she's found a good hiding spot.
00:46:53Father, why don't you like her?
00:46:55Son, you're still young, but you must understand.
00:47:00Shrewsbury is the reason for the great famine.
00:47:03That was a hundred years ago.
00:47:06Must they still be punished?
00:47:07Yes.
00:47:08There are larger things at play here, son.
00:47:10Do not question me.
00:47:11Isn't the point that I choose whom I want to marry, Father?
00:47:18Maeve once told me the same.
00:47:20She wasn't wrong though, was she?
00:47:23She was very wrong.
00:47:24This competition isn't about love.
00:47:29It's about maintaining power.
00:47:43Jane.
00:47:48A word of counsel.
00:48:13I thought we had an alliance.
00:48:14We do, but we have to sell it.
00:48:21Are you going to tell them about the footmen?
00:48:23No, why would I?
00:48:24To get rid of me?
00:48:25To get me killed?
00:48:26I'm not Juliet.
00:48:27We're our allies.
00:48:28I would never do that.
00:48:30Also, I sort of support you having a little bit of fun
00:48:32before you win this whole thing
00:48:34and get locked into a loveless marriage.
00:48:38There's another thing I should tell you.
00:48:41I also made a deal with Juliet.
00:48:43What?
00:48:44There's a deal with everyone but me?
00:48:48You hurt my feelings.
00:48:50Clementine.
00:48:51Go distract Juliet.
00:48:53Be safe.
00:49:00I can't wait to kill you and then win and go home and show all those rich nobles they never
00:49:05should have snubbed the future queen.
00:49:19It's not an easy kill.
00:49:22I almost thought you could actually...
00:49:34It's not an easy kill.
00:49:36I'd wear you...
00:49:37I'd be your hands.
00:49:43...the hour is almost over.
00:49:45Have you seen her?
00:49:47No, I haven't.
00:50:06you're lying to me are you really gonna injure your only ally tell me what happened to jane

00:53:20Your Majesty.
00:53:24My confidence is waning.
00:53:27Your Majesty, the game's not complete.
00:53:30You don't seem to grasp the consequence.
00:53:33Should Shrewsbury prevail, the realm may be plunged into disarray.
00:53:37I have done all within my will.
00:53:40It was you who insisted we not kill her in cold blood.
00:53:44As a king, you must respect tradition.
00:53:49End this conflict by tomorrow.
00:53:52Where your own head will be on the line.
00:54:03I thought I was gonna lose you.
00:54:06It takes more than that to kill me.
00:54:09I hope so.
00:54:11I hope so.
00:54:15I hope so.
00:54:15I hope so.
00:54:16I hope so.
00:54:18I hope so.
00:54:23Good morning.
00:55:14I hope I'm not disturbing you.
00:55:16Well, that would just be impossible.
00:55:17I think it's time for us to discuss your future.
00:55:20Whatever do you mean?
00:55:23You think I don't know the rumors?
00:55:25The old wives' tale that talks of one of the Eton princesses surviving and hiding out safely
00:55:32in Shrewsbury all these years.
00:55:35I'm afraid I just don't know what you're talking about.
00:55:38Yet all the books on Eton dust free in library.
00:55:43I shall put it thus.
00:55:45Whatever happens on the morrow, I pray no tragedy finds its way to your home.
00:55:52Your poor mother is fragile, is she not?
00:55:57Don't.
00:55:57And your young sister now telling how she might react to such an event.
00:56:02Grief can drive a person to dreadful and permanent choices.
00:56:13Perhaps it's time to reconsider your position.
00:56:19I'm certain we can make an arrangement.
00:56:31Are you okay?
00:56:32Hey, I need you to do something for me.
00:56:35Anything.
00:56:47If anything should happen to me, I need you to get this to my sister, Elowen Weaver.
00:56:53Of course.
00:56:55Please promise me.
00:56:56I promise, yeah.
00:56:59Weaver.
00:57:01Wait.
00:57:02Why is her last name different to yours?
00:57:06I need to tell you something.
00:57:20For you.
00:57:22For tonight.
00:57:24Stay safe.
00:57:25Prince Theo.
00:57:47Heir to the Vindalaris throne.
00:57:54Welcome, my subjects.
00:57:56Thank you so much for coming to celebrate the end of the most eligible heiress.
00:58:03Without further ado, I'd love to introduce you to the three finalists.
00:58:09First, we have Miss Clementine Parker of Fairmeadow.
00:58:18Next, the beauty of Amberhelm and frontrunner, Miss Juliette Ashford.
00:58:28And finally, we have Alara Weaver from Shrewsbury.
00:58:45Now, please, everyone, take to the sides of the room, and as best as you can, cover any exits.
00:58:57Ladies, please take your weapons.
00:59:08It's time for the final task.
00:59:10The three of you must choose one to kill.
00:59:44I'll see you next time.
00:59:45Ah!
00:59:47Ah!
00:59:48Ah!
00:59:49Ah!
00:59:51Ah!
01:00:06Well done, ladies.
01:00:08What a show.
01:00:11Now, there can be only one.
01:00:16Fight.
01:00:19No.
01:00:20No, this can't be it.
01:00:22It was too much to ask for us to both make it out alive.
01:00:27Do what you have to do.
01:00:29No.
01:00:31I can't.
01:00:33I...
01:00:33I won't.
01:00:35I won't.
01:00:36I won't.
01:00:41I'm so sorry, Clementine.
01:00:44Kill her!
01:00:46Oh, huh.
01:00:50That was for my brother!
01:00:54For my sister!
01:00:58For Shrewsbury!
01:01:01For me!
01:01:14Guards!
01:01:16Caesar!
01:01:18Stop!
01:01:21This whole competition is for me to choose who and what I want.
01:01:26And what I want is for this bloodshed to end.
01:01:33Lady Clementine Parker, you shall return home in second place.
01:01:42Alara Weaver of Shrewsbury, I choose you to be my partner, my bride, and my future queen.
01:01:54What a thrilling conclusion to the most eligible heiress.
01:01:59Son, bring your paramour to your quarters so we may finalize this.
01:02:06Let the festivities begin!
01:02:09Please wait, we don't have much time.
01:02:11Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now!
01:02:14I should let you.
01:02:15I know I deserve it.
01:02:16But please listen.
01:02:18I am not the enemy.
01:02:30Andrew?
01:02:33What's going on?
01:02:35Please, let me explain, okay?
01:02:38I am not the enemy.
01:02:39My father forced me to do all this because of a tradition against my will.
01:02:43So, I came up with a plan.
01:02:45My footman posed as me in the mask, and I became my footman.
01:02:49I wanted to know why the governess wanted you dead.
01:02:52And then I met you in the woods, and with each conversation we had, I fell more and more in
01:02:57love with you.
01:02:58And I couldn't bear the thought of not being with you.
01:03:01Not kissing you.
01:03:03I choose you, and I will continue to choose you every single time.
01:03:08But you're the reason why Everett's dead!
01:03:11I have spent every single day for the past four years thinking about killing you!
01:03:16Don't you see?
01:03:17My father and the governess are the reason why your brother's dead.
01:03:21They plotted to kill him because they believe that anyone from Shrewsbury can't win.
01:03:24They think anyone from there is connected to the escaped princess.
01:03:27My mother always said that we are.
01:03:29I don't care about that, Alara.
01:03:31I would choose you if you were a peasant, and I would choose you if you were a princess.
01:03:35And from this day forward, I am choosing to protect you.
01:03:40We can protect each other, can't you see that?
01:03:45My father is the enemy to the both of us.
01:03:49He killed your brother, and I'm pretty sure he killed Maeve too.
01:03:55We don't have much time, okay?
01:03:56I need you to help me take him down.
01:03:58I need to find out what secrets did he know?
01:04:00What is he keeping that he would kill his own heir?
01:04:06I'll kill him before he kills you.
01:04:20Is your name even Andrew?
01:04:22Maeve called me by my middle name.
01:04:26And I'd be honored if he called me Andrew too.
01:04:32Not wasting any time then, son.
01:04:37Well done, Miss Weaver.
01:04:44Now that you both had some respite, I need you both back inside to make a formal announcement of your
01:04:49marriage.
01:04:56I hope this is worth it, dear.
01:05:07We will get revenge.
01:05:09He will die.
01:05:10And he will never host one of these again, I swear.
01:05:18Ah.
01:05:22What an exhilarating day for us all.
01:05:24Hmm?
01:05:26Truly, this is what the most elegant day will be.
01:05:29the most eligible heiress is meant to celebrate.
01:05:32The pursuit of love.
01:05:34But most importantly,
01:05:36to root out the traitors and threats to the realm.
01:05:41Which is why I'd like to make dueling announcements.
01:05:45Firstly, the wedding of my son, Prince Theo.
01:05:50Which we plan to consummate in the fortnight.
01:05:59Second.
01:06:01Concurrent to the wedding, we will commence on the next iteration of the most eligible heiress.
01:06:09What? What?
01:06:11Excitingly, we have a nominee with us here tonight!
01:06:18Father, let's discuss this in private.
01:06:22Shall we unveil our nominee?
01:06:27Do it!
01:06:28No!
01:06:30No!
01:06:30No!
01:06:30No!
01:06:31No!
01:06:31Stop, Miss Weaver.
01:06:32Unless you'd like me to execute your sister here and now.
01:06:34No!
01:06:36No!
01:06:37No!
01:06:40No!
01:06:41No!
01:06:41No!
01:06:43No!
01:06:43No!
01:06:43No!
01:06:44No!
01:06:47No!
01:06:47No!
01:06:48No!
01:06:48No!
01:06:49No!
01:06:49No!
01:06:49No!
01:06:49No!
01:06:50No!
01:06:52No!
01:06:52No!
01:06:53No!
01:06:53No!
01:06:53No!
